Working on a storage project and needed a latch. Decided to buy something, instead of making one to save some time. Luckily, I found an old one in my stash, probably something my dad picked up at a garage sale a decade (or two) ago.
Got it installed and was testing the operation when the end of it snapped off. Probably brittle from age. Guess I will have to make something after all.
Old plastic one next to the new aluminum one:
Works as well as the original, and now I don't have to worry about it breaking any time soon.

Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
